Bite Dental

I have had 3 different dentists over the last 5 years — Dr. Liang is the only one that takes time to explain to me what he will be doing and what that means. I prefer Dr Liang’s conservative approach when it comes to cavity treatment: since the filling do not last forever and every time a tooth got drilled, it needs to be replaced by a bigger drill hole afterwards — years down the road the whole tooth need to be replaced. I would give Bite Dental 5/​5, but I reduced by 1 as I am not impressed by one of the female dentists there I saw first, who wanted to drill 4 teeth when 3 of them is really not necessary.

This place is great. The moment you walk in you’re greeted by smiling receptionists. I had a girl named Young clean my teeth, and she was so thorough and gentle… And the most calming, adorable human. If you’re horrified of dentists, then ask for Young — she will erase your fears of drilling sounds! My dentist was Dr. Liang. Don’t be fooled by his youth — the man knows what he’s doing. I had a couple fillings to do and he did an awesome job. His assistant was great too! It’s so hard to find good dentists/​doctors these days. This place isn’t cheap, but if you have insurance, go for it! One bad thing: they don’t give you a loot bag at the end of your stay! No free toothpaste or toothbrush or stickers :(:(:(hahaha! Seriously, if you’re looking for a dentist, look no further!

Experience was okay with Bite Dental until…
Had to get some minor ortho repairs, dentist assured me that I would be covered for the repairs with my insurance plan and that I should do it ASAP because he was going on vacation. Feeling somewhat pressured, I decided to proceed anyway since I was covered. He booked me in for a few hours later that day, so I returned later.
After the repairs were completed, I received word days later from my insurance company that the service was not covered under my policy and that I would have to pay for it. I paid the bill, and called Bite Dental to ask why they would do this and if there was anything they could do. The dentist was on vacation so the receptionist assured me they would take care of it as soon as he got back in and would call me back. Well, they forgot about me and weeks after he returned from vacation, I had to call back to bring it back to their attention. The receptionist who answered this time had no idea what I was talking about but said she would discuss it with the dentist and they would get back to me.
They got back to me the next day, saying that I must have misunderstood and that the dentist would not have told me that I would be covered. They took no ownership for the mistake they made and tried to throw all the blame on me. I was pressured into quickly having the work done because I was assured it would be covered. I could live with the bill but cannot live with a dentist that cannot take ownership for his actions or apologize. I felt like they had made a fool out of me. I won’t be returning to Bite Dental.

The service was good, easy to book appts, and I got my dental work all in in a timely way and I quite liked Dr. Yeow.
Unfortunately, however, they miscalculated my benefits assuring me that I wouldn’t go over. But, I ended having to pay out of pocket (and I have really good benefits) for stuff that would otherwise be covered had I waited until my benefits rolled over again next year.
Maybe this is the consequence of cramming so much work into a short period of time (not all of it urgent), but I recommend keeping an eye on your coverage yourself if you chose Bite.

I’m one of those people that doesn’t hate dentist offices but still likes to put off regular cleanings and check-​ups.
This kind of office, however, might just change that. It’s really been as pleasant an experience seeing the dentist can be! I’ve been here for a regular cleaning and check-​up, as well as a wisdom tooth removal.
The receptionist is always friendly and cheerful, I’ve been seen to speedily, it’s really convenient to book and change appointments, and I *love* the TV on the ceiling :) Dr. Liang has also been great, and I am definitely going to keep returning here for all my dental needs.

Great location and very friendly staff.

I’m glad to hear that Bite has tried to address their organizational issues. My experience with them really made me realize the importance of having a good administration team. It really pays to invest in qualified, professional receptionists. Obviously, I had a bad experience, but I hope the best for their practice and that they can expand on all the amazing things that I saw from them in the beginning!

I am 57 years old and have had many dentists in my lifetime. Without question, Dr Rose is the very best.
I went to see him for a consult after my brutally honest grandson asked what was wrong with my teeth. I had permanent staining on several teeth and I had started to contain my smile because of embarrassment.
Dr Rose spent time with me explaining my options in detail and came up with a very manageable solution to my problem. I am thrilled with the results.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone not satisfied with their current dentist or someone looking for a new dentist. Dr Rose is young and knowledgeable and will have your best interests in mind while taking care of your dental needs.
I am thrilled to have found him.

After living in Toronto for two years, I felt it was finally time to find a dentist. I went straight to Unilocal to find one and read all the fantastic reviews here, and wow, Bite Dental really is as good as everyone says!
Booking the appointment was so easy! (You can do it by text message! Whaaat?) And the receptionist was the nicest and most polite person ever.
When I came in for my appointment there were two women at the front desk and they made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Everyone that works there seems really young and full of energy and positivity! It really makes it a great place to be, and a lot less scary if you get going-​to-​the-​dentist anxiety.
Everything is really new and high tech and super clean. There are TVs on the ceiling that you can watch during your cleaning, how cool is that?! Everything is computerized… xrays directly to screen? This dentist is the future!
To end my wonderful appointment, they made it so that the payment goes directly from my insurance company to them so I didn’t have to pay hundreds of dollars up front. A lot of dentists don’t do that anymore, so it was realllly great to have that happen, especially as a poor student.
My parent’s health insurance covered 80% of the treatment, and I payed $ 50 out of pocket, so since I’m bad at math, those of you without health insurance can calculate how much money it will cost for a full check-​up with xrays and a cleaning.
I’m definitely going to keep going to them. All other dentists seem prehistoric in comparison to the services they provide here.

Penultimate day in Toronto after 4 years so time to tie up loose ends. In that time I’ve had a ton of dental work done and am returning to Europe with infinitely better teeth. Hurrah! So, did the sheen wear off Bite after the first few sessions? I think that’s a resounding NO. I’m so depressed to be saying goodbye and the thought of trying to find a new dentist and practice to match Dr Rose and his team is almost overwhelming!
The receptionists are always smiling, the practice is spotless, the hygienists don’t leave so much as a molecule of plaque behind, they will always squeeze you in if you need to be seen and the hours are fantastic for someone who works.
Dr Rose took my mouth from constant emergencies and disasters to pretty stable. My mother, who told me that I really should stop spending time and money on my teeth and just get false ones instead, looked at me recently and told me that my teeth were lovely. Amazing!
All this is wrapped up in a calm and friendly environment. It’s lovely to feel like you have a say and you’re part of the team looking after your teeth. Dr Rose gives options, doesn’t upsell and had the patience of a saint. My most nervous friend wondered why she’d put off going to the dentist for so long after visiting. As for me, I’ve actually wondered just how feasible it would be to win the lottery and fly over biannually for my check-​up and work. Crazy!
But don’t take my word for it. Go and check them out. He’s fantastic but so is Dr Yeow and the newer members of the team were chosen because they have the same standards and attitude. You might find your own favourite! Only downside? Leaving is a sweet, sweet sorrow. (Seriously. Sounds weird but very true)

It has been a few months since I visited Bite Dental. First let me say that I didn’t go to the Dentist for a regular check-​up for quite a number of years. Partially due to living abroad for a decade and partially due to bad memories from childhood.
Now despite having several cavaties that needed to be fixed, the entire session was almost painless and relatively quick. Was extremely impressed with the overall quality and service at Bite Dental and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable place to go.
Funnily enough I decided on Bite Dental after seeing strong Unilocal Reviews!

The dentist is the best I can find, very helpful and patient. However the receptionist is not so good, I don’t feel one of young lady is doing her job properly.

I have extreme anxiety about the dentist. I avoided the dentist for four years (I know, bad). Since I moved, I didn’t go to my old dentist (who I didn’t like) and I went to Bite Dental (Dr. Liang). I have to say… great visit. I mean, no dentist visit will be fun, but it was the best it could be. Dr. Liang helped with my anxiety. And I’ve had… a few fillings done… and he’s very thorough. Definitely recommended. I’m not too scared every time I go to the dentist now! They have always been able to fit me in to their schedule after work which is perfect… convenient office hours. And receptionist is super nice!

If you’re still wondering about Bite then wonder no more — This place is great. You’ll love everyone over there, they’re so professional and nice people to chat with especially Pamela.
I’ve been to quite few Dentists in downtown TO and all wanted me to go with a crown instead of a filling and this could have cost me thousands — they all wanted my money. Got it fixed at Bite with a filling as it turns out the molar’s base was completely fine and can withhold a filling rather than goin with a crown.
I can’t believe how other dentists wanted to rip me off — all they were saying «it’s a matter of time before this thing blows, a time bomb».
It turns out that all I needed was a filling.
Pay the clinic a visit and you shall be rewarded.

P. S. Dr. Rose quality of work (5 stars) and he takes all hiis time to deliver.

I went to this place after seeing all the great reviews. Dr. Joel Rose is no doubt a great dentist, he was able to find and fix all of the problems that my previous dentist created. He is friendly and patient, and does a great job without rushing anything.
My problem with this place is mostly due to the staff. I was put on hold several times, up to 30 minutes at a time (several times in one call). I was at work with extremely tight schedules so that really messed up my day. I just had a simple question that needed to be answered, and it wasn’t even answered after the wait. The young lady at the front desk is pretty awful for such a great place.
The price here is actually quite high compared to others. Paid around $ 500 for just a cleaning and some minor repairs on my retainer.

I’ve been here 6 times now, every visit is so much better than any dental office has a right to be. I’ve seen both Dr. Rose and Dr. Yeow, and both are superb at their job. They’re really good at making me feel at ease. Their establishment is so nice looking and comfortable, the equipement is all state of the art, the receptionists are super friendly, billing is always painless and suprisingly low. I’ve had multiple cavities filled with zero pain during and after. This is not like any other dentist, they actually make you want to come back.

The dentist has always been a bit of a hang up for me. Just finished my first visit at Bite and I have to say that I so impressed with this establishment. Friendly, professional, educational and my teeth have never felt better. Dr Rose actually took the time to show me my x-​rays and answer my questions. Everyone was so kind! Great news is they are still taking new patients! Get over here and see what you are missing. You won’t be disappointed !

Your health is your everything!
Price ⁵⁄₅ — $ 220 for wisdom toots extraction!
Service ⁵⁄₅ — service desk always happy and trying to accommodate you, they remember my name all the time! Dr. Joel Rose is the best! Polite, full expertise on the hand, open for discussions, NOT pushy (except tooth extraction procedure — literally ;)).
Will Be Back (I hope I can say NO ;)

Update 5÷21÷2012
I had to get a cleaning after about a years worth of orth work so far, she popped out from a patient to see the progress before I left. Shows she really is interested.
I’m gone there a few times and each time I’ve gone I didn’t feel as if I was in a stuffy medical office. Staff are friendly, Dr. Yeow is great and Sarina is great at scheduling, don’t wait forever for your appointment.

Simply put, Bite Dental provides fantastic customer service, professional & friendly atmosphere, and great dental care.
Dr. Yeow is a great dentist, she takes time to have a conversation with you and you build a rapport quite quickly. She offers advice on many topics, even if you’re curious. You never feel rushed to be the In-​Out patient.
Sarina, the receptionist, is also very, very friendly. All staff as a whole definitely know how to run the business.
If you’re a student, they’ll apply a 10% discount on all services after your insurance.
The actual office is very efficient and looks to use the latest gear. Ceiling-​mounted TVs with satellite, Xray machines digitally connected to a computer, your record file is integrated with their servers. I’ve checked, they’re backed up nightly and are fully encrypted too!
